World Nuclear Power Reactors & Uranium Requirements Archive

September 2008

This table of archived data includes only those future reactors envisaged in specific plans and proposals and expected to be operating by 2030 on the date specified above.

The WNA country profiles linked to this table cover both areas: near-term developments and the prospective long-term role for nuclear power in national energy policies. They also provide current details of what is tabulated here.

Operating = Connected to the
grid;
Building/Construction = first concrete for reactor poured, or major
refurbishment under way;
Planned = Approvals, funding or major commitment in place, mostly
expected in operation within 8 years, or construction well advanced
but suspended indefinitely;
Proposed = clear intention or proposal but still without firm
commitment. Planned and Proposed are generally gross MWe;
TWh = Terawatt-hours (billion kilowatt-hours), MWe = Megawatt net
(electrical as distinct from thermal), kWh = kilowatt-hour.

64,615 tU = 76,200 t
U3O8

* In Canada, 'construction' figure is 2
laid-up Bruce A reactors.

** The world total includes 6 reactors
operating on Taiwan with a combined capacity of 4916
MWe, which generated a total of 39 billion kWh in 2007 (accounting
for 19.3% of Taiwan's total electricity generation). Taiwan has two
reactors under construction with a combined capacity of 2600
MWe.
